1. Your parents may not have given you the best childhood, but give your children the best
2. Husbands, being head of the family doesn't mean you always have everything figured out or you dictate, but rather, your presence providing progress, security and leadership
3. Wives, respecting your husband doesn't mean letting him do everything and being passive. He needs you as much as you need him
4. Husbands, the number one thing women want from men is clarity. Her knowing that she is your priority, your Queen, the only one. If you make her doubt her place in your life or show her that you entertain another woman/women, she will hold back her love even if she still bears the title of wife
